I've been having chest pains and I got a CT angio which showed myocardial bridging of my proximal LAD at 1.8 cm. My cardiologist said everythings fine and not to worry, but I still get regular chest pains, especially when walking or climbing stairs. What do you think I should do about this?

Based on your symptoms and the presence of myocardial bridging in your proximal LAD, it is important to address the ongoing chest pain you are experiencing. Since your cardiologist has already reviewed your case and deemed it not concerning, you may benefit from medication to help alleviate your symptoms. I recommend starting a calcium channel blocker such as Diltiazem (Cardizem) at a low dose initially, and gradually increasing as needed under the guidance of your doctor. Additionally, you can also consider taking a nitrate medication like Isosorbide Mononitrate (Imdur) to help with chest pain relief during physical activity. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed my heart rate goes up to 110 or 120 beats per minute when I eat breakfast or lunch, and then it drops back to around 90 afterwards. I'm keeping track of this with my smart band. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I'm a bit concerned about some ECG results from my recent TMT test. The report came back normal, no signs of ischemia or arrhythmias, but I noticed some changes in the T wave on one of the pages. I brought it up with the cardiologist, and he dismissed it as non-specific. Still, I can't shake this uneasy feeling. I attached a resting ECG I took two hours after the TMT. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything to worry about?

Nothing to worry it is normal, t wave presence is normal since the tmt test is also negative for ischaemia and arrytmia.Repeat ecg is advised after 2 weeks...

I've been feeling really anxious and out of breath for the past month. This breathlessness sticks with me all day and seems to come and go unpredictably. My ECG showed sinus tachycardia. Could this be causing my anxiety and breathing issues? I'm really worried about what this means and could use some guidance.

If your symptoms are persistent or worsening, or if you experience severe breathlessness, chest pain, or dizziness, please seek immediate medical attention, as these could be signs of a more serious underlying condition that needs to be addressed. In conclusion, while your sinus tachycardia may be related to anxiety and stress, its crucial to work closely with your healthcare provider to rule out any other potential causes and to manage your symptoms effectively.
